Three labs built by Neurovia One
Our picks from PhET
Excellent free simulations from PhET Interactive Simulations at the University of Colorado Boulder. They open on the PhET website.
Biology
- Natural Selection
Watch a population of bunnies adapt as the environment changes.
- Gene Expression Essentials
Build proteins from DNA: transcription and translation, step by step.
- Neuron
Stimulate a neuron and watch the action potential travel.
- Membrane Transport
Move molecules across a cell membrane through channels and transporters.
Chemistry
- pH Scale
Test everyday liquids and see what pH really measures.
- Acid-Base Solutions
Compare strong and weak acids and bases at the molecular level.
- Molarity
Change solute and volume and watch the concentration.
- Balancing Chemical Equations
Balance equations with a visual, molecule-counting game.
- Reactions & Rates
Explore collisions, activation energy and reaction rate.
Physics
- Circuit Construction Kit: DC
Build any circuit you like with batteries, bulbs, switches and meters.
- Projectile Motion
Launch objects and explore angle, speed and air resistance.
- Forces and Motion: Basics
Push, pull and feel friction to understand Newton's laws.
- Energy Skate Park: Basics
Trade potential and kinetic energy on a skate ramp.

Use them in class
Every Neurovia lab page has a short set of tasks you can give as a worksheet, and an explanation of the science and the model's limits. The labs work on phones and on a classroom screen. If your school would like a guided session, see the schools page.
